Gap is hosting Shine On Saturdays. This is a series of events at select GapKids stores to feature special art projects by Merrilee Liddiard of Mer Mag (love her!).

As if you need another reason to head on over to the Gap, for Shine On Saturdays, kids will have the opportunity to participate in all kinds of fun activities which include making creative geometric masterpieces on canvas using paint and tape to assembling colorful, custom journals just in time for back-to-school, to name a few.

Designed by Merrilee Liddiard of Mer Mag, the projects were inspired by the GapKids and babyGap fall collection, including the best new 1969 denim – Jewel Box Skinnies for girls (the new skinny jean updated in bright stretchy denim) and Action Stretch Denim for boys (designed for play all day- it’s denim that’s made to move).

This month, select GapKids stores in stores in across the country will host Shine On Saturdays events. From creating geometric masterpieces on canvas using paint and tape to colorful, custom journals to get kids ready for back-to-school, the projects help kids express their creativity!
